Economic Buzz: Bank Of Japan Holds Steady, Ups Outlook

The Bank of Japan held its asset-buying and other policy elements unchanged Tuesday, while using slightly more upbeat language on the economy. While the lack of fresh easing moves was widely expected, the policy announcement sent the yen rising and pushed stock futures lower as the equity market was on lunch break when the announcement came. The central bank said Japan's economy has been picking up and exports have started picking up, after saying at its last meeting on May 22 that the economy has started picking up and exports have stopped decreasing. It also said some indicators suggest a rise in inflation expectations.
